  1. What model Sailun tire would you suggest as an all position/drive? I currently have Kelly KRH and Goodyear g661 HSA on the two axles (and the Goodyear have aged out). I was going to go with the Kelly but they're now $600 each...
  2. I'm in the same boat....not sure there are any deals these days but would love to hear. I'm looking for 295/75R22.5 drives.
  3. The only other trick I can help with is when bobtailing, if you want to skip-shift, you can go to manual and press the 'up' button twice. The requirement is that you have to be at high enough RPM that the 2nd shift will land high enough RPM-wise. I think that means shifting at 1600RPM or a bit over.
  4. I've got the same transmission and was told the only choice was 1st or 2nd....
  5. I have an ez pass and it's mounted at the top of the windshield and it reads just fine. Note that on most toll roads in the NE now, paying cash or by mail is quite a bit more expensive than via transponder.
  6. Hopefully other folks will be able to give advice as well, but what I found worked best on our ET hitch was to dump the truck airbags (so that the truck and hitch airbags aren't fighting each other as I raise the trailer off the hitch) and then lift the trailer enough that I could see a little light between the kingpin and hitch. Then back up slightly to release the pressure on the jaws. In most cases then the hitch will release.

    Volvo 730 Sheet Sizes

    I picked up this sheet set for the bottom workstation bed area and it's worked out OK: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTH8L8X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As noted, it's 42x79....
  9. The resistor in the fan is a known weak spot:
  10. 2nd for the NOCO Genius. I've got a 3-bank charger in the trailer, using 2 outputs to charge a pair of LiFePO4 batteries. I also have an older Minn-Kota onboard charger and they would also fit the bill. The NOCO are a better choice in terms of selecting your battery chemistry (IMHO). https://no.co/genpro10x3
  11. This is a common failure, and I understand the only real fix is a new harness. Apparently a common failure mode is to have oil wicking up the harness into the ECU.
  12. The "binder" has been discussed here before. Perhaps it'll turn up in a search?
  13. We got the generator re-installed today and it seems to be working well. The repair was 11 hours (including 3 hours labor for removing/reinstall) and around $700 in parts for the repair and the 1000 hour service. Hopefully good for another 10 years 🙂
  14. No, it's going to go back in the trailer....makes the most sense there (though service for big things is certainly a challenge). Hopefully meeting at the shop Sunday morning to get it reinstalled.
